Akagera National Park in December – December is filled with joy as many families take vacations to create bonds.
Before setting off, ensure that you know the prices for everything, such as entrance fees.
December is characterized by little rains, similar to November, but the difference is that December prepares for the dry January season.
Spending the new year’s day at Akagera National Park is amazing.
Depending on your budget, you can stay at Ruzizi Tented Lodge, which overlooks Lake Ihema. It is considered a luxury lodge, but feel free to book it as it’s a great place to stay while watching hippos in the lake.
Another option is the Akagera Game Lodge, situated inside the park near the south gate, offering charming, authentic services, from free Wi-Fi to delicious dishes. However, it charges slightly more than Ruzizi.
For travelers on a humble budget, Shakani Akagera Campsite is the best option. Note that camping equipment is not included, but vehicles are available for hire.
You also get the chance to go fishing and roast your catch on a lucky day during campfires, which keep you warm during the cold December weather.
If you prefer other camping locations, Muyumbu and Mutumba Camps are also affordable and comfortable.
Due to the rainy weather, many may prefer to stay indoors, especially visitors with kids.
Game drives are the most popular activity during the December season, accompanied by fishing, as the muddy terrain discourages nature walks.
Since many visitors may want to visit the local villages, it is advisable to purchase gumboots and rain jackets before coming to the park.
The village people are very welcoming, so feel free to interact with them.
